Sommelier Wine & Cheese Pairing
Join us for a unique Wine and Cheese pairing class. You're in for an evening of Alpine-style cheese and wines from Switzerland, Austria, and Northern Italy.
Whether you consider yourself a self-proclaimed wine and cheese aficionado, or just have a general appreciation of both, this class will teach you how to pair artisan cheeses with the perfect counterpart. Guided by our expert Sommelier, you will have the opportunity to taste and contrast six different wines, paired with six different cheeses.
Not only will you taste the beautiful cheeses, but you'll be taken through Alpine cheese savoir faire: grass feeding, terroir, the maturation process, aging, fromagerie, family tradition and the appellation system.
From learning how to speak like a Sommelier to discovering the world of wines, you will also be enlightened on the differences in winemaking, history, wine regions, tasting techniques, flavor profiles and everyday practical wine appreciate tips such as how to blind taste! Through this wine tasting journey, it will be our goal to awaken and calibrate your palate as you embark on this life long adventure with wine and cheese!
No experience is required! All equipment, ingredients, and wine will be provided by your Sommelier Instructor. Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing and instructive, not hardcore. Please arrive 10 minutes early, wearing your mask. There is room for guests to enjoy their cheese and wines in a private room separate from the other booking parties, if you would like.
